An unsecured personal loan is completely different than secured loans in every way. Since there are no assets to back the loan, lenders have much higher risk.

While the application process may not be drastically different between the two types of personal loans, due to the riskier nature of unsecured loans, credit checks may be more thorough depending on the amount of the loan.
